Our take
Collibra wants to help firms understand data governance. As companies gather ever more data, Collibra helps them understand what data they have, who has access to it and how to move it through a workflow of data analysis tools.
Historically, large corporations have not thought much about the data they collect and how to use it. In this day and age, however, data is super valuable so everyone wants to make the most of it, which has made businesses turn to products such as Collibra's. The company has secured many big-name clients including T-Mobile, Lloyds Banking, and Equifax.
The company's growth has been helped by increasing data privacy legislation like GDPR, which means companies have a legal obligation to be in control of the data they're collecting and giving their employees access to. In 2022, the company was named an Innovation Summit Honoree by the Bank of America’s annual Technology Innovation Summit. It has continued to add new features and integrations to maintain its offering's premium status, including a new data marketplace, which provides a shopping-like experience from which users can access a company’s internal datasets.
